I have used two factor authentication to access my account. Now when I have switched telephone I can of course not login any more. Since I had a disk failure, I have lost my security code too. Furthermore, when I try to login with my normal mail address, I get the screen saying "Check your email for the verification link sent to... " but there is no mail sent. I had to use another mail address and create a new account to access the support here.

Why is there no verification link sent?
How can I enable my normal account again? I need it to update my add-ons.

With this latest update (this also happened with the previous update with Firefox 68), Firefox 69 (Quantum) refuses to load facebook games. The only thing that displays is a black screen and it just hangs. Does anyone have a fix for this?

This problem happened when Firefox 68 (Quantum) was released as well. It was eventually fixed but this is irritating that Firefox updates are rolled out with bugs and glitches included. I'm just looking for a fix as I had to remove FF 69 and install a previous version.

After updating to Firefox 70, many websites that were previously working do not work when I navigate to them. However, if I clear the cookies related to that site, then the website works normally again. I've been having to do this for many websites and it's getting tedious. Furthermore, I've had to do this multiple times to the same sites after having cleared cookies previously. For these repeat non-functionality incidents, they come up after reopening the browser, but not every time the browser is quit.

Please restore Cairo as a rendering backend for Firefox. As you can see from the following screenshots, text renders much better with it than without it, even with MacType installed and running. The first screenshot shows a web page in IceDragon, which still has Cairo. The second shows the same page in Firefox 69, which doesn't. The difference should be quite obvious.

About once a week, my default browser search changes itself to Yahoo and I have to go into Preferences and manually change it back to Duck Duck Go. I have tried all the suggestions in the other answers to this question. I do not have any Yahoo extensions or anything suspicious. I have searched my entire computer for "Yahoo" and find nothing. I do not have a folder for Firefox, or any preferences file, only the application itself. I am on a Mac so Windows answers don't help me.

I opened up around 50 tabs in a single firefox Private Window on Linux and all was good and fast, I then opened another URL in a new tab, which asked me to Stop or Wait for unresponsive script running, where I chose to Stop. Then it started behaving abnormally; I was only able to do the following:

1 scroll on the tab using either middle mouse button or [Up] [Down] key on keyboard jfie
2 right click the tab content to open up right-click menu,
3 hover over the icons and change their background color like Homepage, Refresh, Page Actions, Show sidebars, as well as display their lables;

but I was not able to
$ trigger the proper response from above buttons, or
$ switch to another tab
$ close or create any tab

I noticed in journalctl logs around the time frame this happend, which showed the following:

NOTE that I did not open any gedit intentionally during that time window.
So far, I have not closed the unresponsive window, in hope that I would be able to restore those tabs. But I am not sure where to start. The $HOME/.mozilla/firefox director is about 100MB.

Could anyone help? I am willing to provide any more information and I am willing to invest my time on this.

I"ve read through other articles. My firefox and sync are up to date. I have bookmarks checked. I use two firefox on two different microsoft PCs. I tried changing my options in sync to see if the chances would show up in firefox on my other computer. They did, so I have that much right. I tried turning off bookmarks in the sync, syncing, then clicking the box and syncing again. I want to say it can't be me, but of course it has to be or everyone would be having the same problem.

When user log in to the environment they start Firefox. This is perfectly fine without errors.
Then they decide to close Firefox they do so, upon realising they forgot something they want to re-open firefox and click the icon.

The following error rises: "Firefox Process is still active, but not responding. Click here to close the previous process and start Firefox" after waiting for a little while the action takes place and firefox starts again. When closing firefox again and starting it once more the same issue occurs.

I've tried a re-install of Firefox ESR68.0.1 or ESR68.0.2, and even the latest ESR versions 68.1.0 the issue persists (all x64, Dutch)

Vertical scrolling using two fingers on my MacBook Pro's trackpad randomly stops working on all tabs in a given Firefox window. The same gesture in other windows of the same Firefox process keep working. Arrow key scrolling works, as down page up/down. Grabbing the scroll bar and dragging does NOT work, but clicking on the scroll bar will scroll.

After two minutes or so, scrolling will suddenly start working, and the page I'm on will suddenly jump, as if the scroll events had been buffered up.

I cannot figure out how to reproduce this. I'm running Firefox in a terminal, but I'm not seeing anything interesting on stdout/stderr.

How does DNS over HTTPS modes define usage of hosts file?

Firefox: 69.0, OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3

I noticed that when I enable DNS over HTTPS ("network.trr.mode" set to 2 - use DoH, fall back to DNS), *and* hostname is defined in hosts file (/etc/hosts), Firefox usage of hosts file is inconsistent and hard to predict.

If IPs defined in hosts file and obtained via DNS request differ, corresponding site/resources behaves erratically, as if Firefox chooses at random, which page components' DNS address should be resolved via hosts, and which via DoH.

I had to disable DoH for that reason.

It is possible to set up DoH, so that it used hosts records, if present, and used DNS in all other cases?

I have a specific list of websites that I would like to block access to on an account but these sites are not being blocked properly.

On the MacOS parental controls, there are three options: Allow unrestricted access, Try to limit access to adult websites, and Allow access to only these websites (see screenshot #1)

I chose the "Try to limit access to adult websites" option and found that Firefox does not block the same sites that Safari does. Attempting to solve this issue, I added specific sites to the blacklist in the Customize section (see screenshot #2). But this still did not solve the issue - sites listed on the blacklist are still perfectly accessible in Firefox.
